I think Murphy's Law is working against me... :-) I reached out to the Detroit Library to see if they had the issue since the magazine was published in Detroit but I can't seem to get an answer from them, but I'll keep plugging away. Thank you again and have a safe and great holiday weekend!<br />SylviaPence Family of Champaign County, Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052785187107834010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172280808908522747.post-73657859212592605752016-05-16T14:48:07.723-07:002016-05-16T14:48:07.723-07:00Unfortunately, I don't have the June 1903 issu...Unfortunately, I don't have the June 1903 issue--terribly sorry.

I've been researching my family tree and recently discovered there was a photograph/illustration of 3 boys going fishing (either on the cover or interior) - one of the boys was my great uncle. I've reached out to library's looking for a copy with no luck. I would love to see a copy of this issue!

I have maybe 30 issues, which I bought for the amazing ads and the early cartoons. I feel that modern comic books (1930's-) evolved from youth publications like American Boy more so than from adventure pulps, hence my interest in A. Boy. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Lee Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378950382643333359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172280808908522747.post-49743086982318024712016-04-11T07:27:35.558-07:002016-04-11T07:27:35.558-07:00Hi Lee,

I have a copy of this magazine (it was my fathers) and I was hoping you could enlighten me to what this magazine was? Thanks Lee, any info would be much appreciated.<br />Greg, "The Canadian Boy".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
